It broke a few records, becoming both the largest January opening
weekend ever and Eastwood's biggest debut for a movie.

There were also a few other male-centric films competing for
viewers including Liam Neeson's "Taken 3," which debuted to a
$40
million opening the weekend prior, and Kevin Hart's "The Wedding
Ringer" featuring "The Big Bang Theory" actress Kaley Cuoco.
The comedy made $21 million opening weekend.
